It's fun, standing at the bus-stop, trying to imagine the who, why and where of this.

This is quite encouraging. Vonnegut is wonderful and when you read him he makes it look so easy, but this is what he thought of doing it.

Not my pet precisely but turns up so often I feel I'm more than a little acquainted with the fluffy bundle. Apparently handy with a fistbump too by the looks of it.

January's best read. A story that if it weren't demonstrably true would barely be believable. Nevertheless, absolutely startling and terrifying and full of sinister notes that still feel all too real.

Nice of my laptop to remind me how early I got up this morning. But I think I already knew.

When's the best time to read a book set in the cripplingly cold Antarctic? Probably not during a spell of icy times. But I just did. This by @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social. Under the chilly circumstances, not quite escapism, but it is wildly immersive, very tense and wonderfully eerie. 💙📚

When a football match looks like it's being played by Romans.

December's best read. For all its seriousness, a jaunty and entertaining book too with a nifty turn of phrase. A story of arrogance, hubris, lies and the downright offensively criminal...all too familiar. 📚💙

More curious stuff found being used as a bookmark, and what was written on the back.💙📚

The highest scoring partnership in the history of England women's cricket was in 1935. And sounds like the makings of a quirky Christmas film.

Here is my visitor cat, Muffin the mad. Trying for a fist bump. Crazy animal, but deeply pleasing. Hope you're having a good day, Heather.

November's best read. A peculiar concoction. A jaunty, intelligent, highly amusing and absolutely informative book about the circumstances and peripherals of the first three Presidential assassinations. Sounds weird even to describe it, but it's genuinely marvellous. #booksky 📚💙

Another curiosity found as a bookmark in a secondhand book. The unusual writing of the date, the charming handwriting, the spelling error, I love it all. Can't even recall what the book was, but the possible backstory here is intoxicating all by itself.💙📚
